Everyone Likes the A3’s Seats

The world of automobiles is beset by terrible seating. Rock hard sports seats that provide much in the way of support, but little in the way of comfort. Audi’s here to help, though.

According to a new survey from JD Power, an automotive quality researching firm, the Audi A3 has the fewest seating-related complaints per customer of any car on the market.

Just what does that amount to per 100 owners? Nothing. Zero. Zilch. According to JD Power’s research, not a single Audi A3 owner has any complaints emanating from their rear end. Or none that Audi’s fault, anyway.

Not far behind was another VW group stalwart, the Porsche Cayenne (in the luxury SUV Segment), that had just 0.8 reported problems per 100 vehicles, while the BMW X4 followed in third place overall with just 2 complaints per 100 vehicles.

Despite their familial relationships, the seats in the two VW group cars don’t actually come from the same source. The Cayenne’s are made by Adient, while the A3’s are made by Magna. The latter did well in more than just the A3, too, coming in first place in the Mass Market Compact SUV and the Mass Market Midsize/Large SUV segments (Ford Escape and the Ford Edge).

To find these conclusions, JD Power surveyed more than 77,000 purchasers and lessees of new cars and asked them about problems through the first 90 days of ownership.

So if you’re looking for a problem-free place to park your keister, look no further than the A3.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen’s Gone to California with Grand California Camper

Volkswagen is bringing the California XXL concept to production. It will debut at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon as the Grand California. It’s set to be based on the medium wheelbase Crafter van. That’s the company’s full-size commercial van, larger than the T6 Transporter based California. The high roof means room for adults to stand up, though it won’t get the concept’s extended length. The Grand California offers a full wet bathroom. It’s not exactly spacious, though, measuring in at around 31.5 x 33-inches. A toilet, shower, and sink are all crammed into that space, but at least there are motion sensor lights to stop you from reaching for a switch. Standard, the Grand California it comes with berths for two adults. Space for two children is optional, but they’ll be stuck in a berth amove the driver’s area. The kitchen offers a sink, stove, and two fridges. The front seats swivel to add seating space when the RV is parked. It’s also got solar panels, an integrated satellite dish,...
